FastBudz Lemon Pie + Lemon AK (2nd time)

hArDyTRSI Watering: 2 times a week, every 3 days and 12 hours Day #8: 125 ml per Plant Day #11: 500 ml per Plant (went up a lot from day 8 to 11 for the first time, just to be able to dose nutrients easier, haha...but it all went fine, no problems!) Nutrients: first time added on Day #11 Soil: realized the last soil in the bag wasn´t enough for the LemonAK, so added some more soil from last grow, as i will only buy new soil or maybe coco for the next grow in a few weeks ! I just harvested the last plant from my last run, which had 3 plants...all of which took like 6-8 weeks longer than advertised (9-10 weeks), but i guess i just stressed them too much, so they took longer...and to be honest: nothing happened in the last 3 weeks, except minimal bud-growth..wasn´t worth keeping them that long...but none of them ever showed any amber-trichomes, so i just kept them for longer and longer, waiting for nothing to happen! This shows i am a real noob ! :) The Product is fine, though, smells, tastes and beams just as advertised, i loved em all! - Jack Herer Auto, Papaya Cookies Auto and Gorilla Cookies Auto (which really just was a seed i got for free ontop of what i ordered at Fastbudz !) But why i am saying that is: Harvesting made room for a cleaner Setup now...with the Light not at 100% anymore, but rather 75%...also the distance to the light wasn´t optimal before, as i had to put stuff under the two seedlings, so they reach far enough to the light, which was still working on the Gorilla Cookies Auto, which was 135cm tall ! But i never could put an amount of stuff, so the distance was right...well, all of this won´t happen anymore, now that the plan is to always only have two plants, planted and harvested at the same time ! Pictures next Week will show the better Setup i guess.

hArDyTRSI I added a Picture of the new Setup, as "promised" last week. I took some Pictures of a Mutation the Lemon AK has...i think it is the 5th Node...one of the Leafs grew at the position where the 4th Nodes Leaf is aswell and merged a bit with the 4th-Node-Leaf..and the Flower-Part also merged with the one of the 4th Node. I topped both, the Pie and AK, but i somehow never took any before/after-pictures...i don´t even know if i made the pictures above before or after the topping. Sorry, i really have to get better at all of this Grow-Diary-thingie here...i had completely forgotten about it when i topped them. ;) I really only took away the uppermost part of the plant...so almost nothing, no cut even, i just rubbed the mid-part out. Both Flowers didn´t grow a single centimeter the last week, i wonder if the topping was that stressful. I also wonder how the topping will turn out for the Lemon AK, as right now it looks like i had 3 tops...but one of them is from the 5th node...and the other two are from the 4th node...so i guess it will only have one top, even after topping...unless: one of the 4th-Node-Tops counts as one of the 5th node now...i will try to provide more close-up-pictures of that Situation in the future. Watering: 1 Liter per Plant from now on Lighting: at 60%, so 60 Watts All in all i am fine with how they perform so far. :)

hArDyTRSI I fixed the PPM-Readings for all weeks. Also added the missing CalMag from BioBizz i am adding prevention-wise each week to all my Plants to each week. I dialed the Light up a bit to 66%, so about 66 Watts...just because the Lemon Pie, which grows in its corner, a bit away from the Light, only collecting what Light reaches there, did only get like 200 PPM...now it´s at 350 PPM atleast...while the Lemon AK gets its 500 PPM, which i think is about the amount you want to have at start of Flowering... ...which ain´t yet...i stressed the Plants more than i wanted so far...and it all feels a bit slower than the last Plants i grew...they are also way smaller. I think this is because before this grow i always had Plants in different Stages under that same Light, so the Light was always on 100% = 100 Watts throughout all Phases of all Plants. I guess that´s also why my Seedlings like to stretch and fall over sometimes..just too much Light. Luckily these times are over now...now that i only grow 2 Plants each time, at the same time. :) LST: I don´t know why i chose this point of time to LST the Plants, but they looked like they could need it and also: I was in the mood to do it, so i didn´t hesitate a second once i got the idea and simply directly started the process. It went all fine, until i was finished with the LST and wanted to tuck down the big Leafs... ...as you can guess already, i managed to destroy some of them...so i stopped for that moment... ...and only 2 days after i finished the tucking_down...which went a lot better. Defolitation: But i guess i lost some Leafs on both Plants and so i can say i Defoliated them the first time aswell. My original Plan was to do first Defoliation, aswell as LST, once the Plants are in pre-bloom-stage. Well, next time then, i guess. Was close to that point of time anyway. I am still happy with how they both perform. Both have super-small internodial (correct word?) distances right now. (I think they´ll stretch in the stretch-phase of the blooming-stage, but i never had em that close together before - too much light was the issue, as mentioned before !) Happy Growing, read you next week ! :)
